Refrigerant Piping
Leading out the pipes
• The indoor/outdoor unit connecting pipes can be connected in any of 4 directions. Use a screwdriver to punch out
the knockout part of the front panel or base. Wear heavy work gloves to protect yourself from injury while doing this
work. After punching out the knockout hole in a manner which ensures that the pipes and wires will not be damaged
in any way, remove the burrs from around the hole.
REQUIREMENT
Follow the instructions in the installation manual provided with the branch pipe kit and the instructions in the
installation manual of the indoor unit to connect the refrigerant pipe between the branch pipe and indoor unit.

Pipe connection method
Flaring
1. Cut the pipe with a pipe cutter.
2. Remove the burr inside of the pipe. When removing the burr, be careful so that chips do not fall into the pipe.
3. Remove the flare nuts attached to the outdoor / indoor unit, then insert them into each of the pipes.
4. Flare the pipes. See the following table for the projection margin (A) and flaring size (B).
* In case of flaring for R410A with the conventional flare tool, pull the tool out approx. 0.5 mm more than that for R22
to adjust it to the specified flare size. The copper pipe gauge is useful for adjusting the projection margin size.
